The success of Luis de la Fuente with Spain and Lionel Scaloni with Argentina may boost Lee Carsley's hopes of landing the England job.
Recent success by national teams that have promoted from within means appointing him will remain an appealing prospect for many at the Football Association.After two wins in September, the job was considered Carsley's to lose in many circles, but a no-striker experiment in the 2-1 Wembley defeat by Greece may have damaged those prospects.
De la Fuente briefly served as head coach of a then-third tier Alaves in 2011, but that was the biggest club job either he or Scaloni had before managing their nations.There are other notable cases, with the most recent winning managers of the Africa Cup of Nations, Oceania's OFC Cup and the Concacaf Gold Cup all having managed at international youth level before stepping up.
"Carsley's ascent also appealed to the FA because he has worked so closely with a group of young players at development levels, such as Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Anthony Gordon, Marc Guehi and others. De la Fuente was a similar case in point as he built Spain's latest powerful team.But some England fans might prefer a bigger name - like Eddie Howe, Graham Potter, the dream albeit unlikely option of Pep Guardiola - or new bookmakers' favourite Thomas Tuchel.
He had been working as the Argentina Under-20 boss, and the assistant to the senior team, when he took charge, initially as caretaker in 2018.Balague said: "Argentina director Cesar Luis Menotti thought the team needed a new regime and that Scaloni - with the help of other former players who have joined like Walter Samuel and Pablo Aimar - could lead another change.
The former Ivory Coast midfielder had been Gasset's assistant and was also the country's under-23 boss alongside that role.Mexico beat Panama in last year's Gold Cup final, the continental competition for countries from North and Central America and the Caribbean.
